I think Holloway has grown leaps and bounds since then. In my opinion, Holloway would outpunch him, outwork him. He would do very much what Diaz did, but more, I think McGregor got away with a lot of stuff like the leg kicks against Diaz, but I don’t think he’ll have that against Holloway.
He Further added:
Holloway has the same type of output as Diaz, the same kind of chin as Diaz. He’s more athletic than Diaz, he has more variety in his attacks, he has more kicking, kneeing and elbowing, and his chin is just phenomenal. So I really think he would take it in the later rounds. I think the blueprint for beating McGregor is better understood by the roster.
McGregor eventually made those observations, which didn't sit well with him and gave a pretty disagreeable answer via a few tweets, one of which was deleted already.
Hey firaz. Young man afraid to get in and fight, himself. Stop talking about me like you know me, you twerp.
You are what age? Why are not in there yourself? Are you not up to it?
You rent dorms and hit a clock for a living.
Shut your pie, kid.— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) January 9, 2019
The first tweet read something like:
All these young mouthy clock hitters. Stay ready.
